Declan Bennett (aka sumladfromcov) is a 26-year-old, hard-hitting, dynamic acoustic singer-songwriter from England whose unashamed and honest tales of love and sexuality and emotionally charged lyrics have won him a diverse and devoted fan base around the UK and beyond…
No stranger to fame (with mainstream chart success by the age of 20 as part of a pop/rock outfit, a lead role in an award-winning West End show at 21, not to mention a recent nine month tour of America starring as Roger in rock opera RENT), Declan is just putting the finishing touches to his second full-length album, which he recorded over the summer in the UK, and is now mixing in New York. Shortly due to star on Broadway as Roger in Rent for a limited season, Declan will also be performing his own gigs around New York and further afield until Spring next year, but will be back in the UK for a series of gigs in November 2007.
